Bizantina made the music for Orlando Tarantato incorporating the vocal styles of ancient Italian street music, the folk traditions from southern Italy, such as tarante, pizziche and tammurriate; the saxophone driven influences of the Balkans and the rhythms and melodies of the Middle East.
The members of Bizantina include Michaela D’Astuto on vocals; Susanna Crociani on saxophones and clarinet; Ilaria Innocenti on accordion and vocals; Michelangelo Zorzit on bass; Marcello Melighetti on guitars, bouzouki and mandola; Michele Lovito on percussion; Federico Piras on vocals; and Mauro de Lilla on drums and keyboards.
Bizantina has created a mesmerizing musical work that is inspiringly detailed and combines the best of Italian folk music, global traditions and Medieval street musical theater.
